Alone Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHGHGIGI JKJKLILIAlone alone the night is very silent | A |
Voiceless the stars are and the pallid moon | B |
Through the unknown sends down no tone no utt'rance | C |
To break the hush of midnight's solemn noon | B |
I stretch my arms toward the unanswering heavens | D |
'Tis empty space no form no shape is here | E |
I call no answer to my cry is given | F |
Powerless my voice falls on Night's leaden ear | E |
- | |
Alone alone I thought the dead were near me | G |
The holy dead E'en now methought I heard | H |
Low tones whose music long ago did cheer me | G |
That shadowy hands the parting branches stirred | H |
'Twas but the night wind's mournful sigh above me | G |
'Twas but the lonely streamlet's grieving tone | I |
No voice comes back from those who once did love me | G |
No white hand beckons I am all alone | I |
- | |
Alone not so One sacred unseen Presence | J |
Fills the far depths broods round me and above | K |
Enfolding all in His own Omnipresence | J |
Pervading all with His unstinted love | K |
In Him I live and move and have my being | L |
My soul's deep yearnings all to Him are known | I |
On me in kindness rests His eye all seeing | L |
His arm upholds me I am not alone | I |
